The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
It is a great story with really captivating characters— I thoroughly enjoyed it. At first the footnotes turned me off, but I grew to love them. It was challenging to read a book with so much Spanglish, but I stopped worrying about trying to understand every word perfectly, and was kind of like listening in on conversations at work in the New Brunswick Free Public Library, which should be a testament to the authenticity of the style given that a good portion of the book takes place in New Brunswick.
